Authorities are still searching for a man who allegedly attacked a 21-year-old University of Illinois student early Friday.

Police said the woman left her residence on the west end of campus and walked to the nearby Founders Residence Hall to get a soda from a vending machine.

The woman told police a man walked up behind her and put one hand on her left shoulder, one hand on her hip and attempted to turn her around. The woman kicked the man in the groin and ran back to her apartment.

The man was described as black, about 6 feet, 1 inch tall with a thin build. He was wearing a black sweatshirt and appeared to be about 25 years old.
